Thanks for info!

I saw that bind was removed from the current branch because of security problems, but didn't know nslookup was part of BIND.

Now I see in $PORTSDIR/dns/bind-tools/pkg-plist

bin/dig
bin/host
bin/nslookup

so host is also part of BIND?

I will remember to use "host" in the future.
